Release Notes: The SIGPIPE signal behaviour was fixed. Previously, the clish utility ignored this signal, and the ACTION scripts inherited this, so some utilities used within ACTION scripts couldn't get SIGPIPE at all. Now the SIGPIPE signal handler is set to be the default for the ACTION scripts. The view field of the COMMAND tag is dynamic now; you can use VARs in it.

Release Notes: Bugfix versions klish-1.5.9 and klish-1.6.4 are released. These versions are important for FreeBSD only. The getpwent() function related problem was fixed. The incompatibility bug could lead to "Bus error" on FreeBSD.

Release Notes: This is a bugfix release. The engine broke when the length of a completion string was greater than the width of the terminal. All klish versions have this bug, including the original clish. Debianization.

Release Notes: Command history was added. The SIGHUP signal is blocked during non-interruptable ACTION script execution. A new sigexec utility must be used to start daemons from non-interruptable scripts to unblock signals first.

Release Notes: The klish uses C code only. It can be built without C++ now. The tinyXML internal implementation was removed. Now klish can use the following external XML backends to parse its XML config files: libxml2, expat, and libroxml. These XML parsers are C-based. For details about XML backends, see the wiki.

Release Notes: This portability release can be built on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and QNX6. QNX6 has some problems with konf and konfd. Much of the legacy unused code has been removed, along with some unnecessary library dependencies.

Release Notes: An idle timeout commandline option has been added. Use -t <sec> or --timeout=<sec> to set it. The klish command can be executed using klish -c "<command>". The konfd daemon is case sensitive now. Use the _PROMPT_PREFIX and _PROMPT_SUFFIX variables for system-wide prompt prefix and suffix.
